#23: Matt Rutherford Returns to the Podcast!
When we first talked to Matt back in October - our second-ever episode! - his Ocean Research Project was just an idea. He was still riding high off of his Solo the America's expedition, but he wanted to shift gears and focus on something outside of himself. Since then, the ORP has achieved full...

Don Schwall is an athlete. In 1961, he was Rookie of the Year with the Boston Red Sox, winning his first game he ever pitched in the big leagues. Back in his day, pitchers went the distance - there was no such thing as 'middle relief' - and took the winters off to get real jobs, because baseball...

more -
BONUS EPISODE! Anna Vinnars Behind the Scenes
Episode #3 was with Anna Vinnars. Ryan and I pulled off an international three-way Skype conversation - Anna was in Malmö, on the Swedish west coast, I was in Stockholm (or just outside, in Dunderbo), and Ryan was in West Virginia. So that was neat. I mentioned in the intro that I loved her…
